Every-time England need a wicket, they call Ben Stokes to the rescue, and it happened once again during the third Test Vs West Indies at Edgbaston.

With the game nicely poised, and the Windies offering resistance in the second innings, England needed to remove the dangerous Mikyle Louis, and Stokes did just that with a sensational out-swinger.

Briliant out-swinger from Stokes removes Mikyle Louis

At the start of the second innings, West Indies lost skipper Kraigg Brathwaite for a duck. A collapse was on the cards, but Louis steadied the ship and offered a fightback against the English bowlers. He scored a gritty fifty as the hosts desperately needed a wicket from somewhere, and that's just what Stokes did.

The England captain came into the attack and bowled a ridiculously skilful out-swinger. The ball pitched on the off and threatened to come back in with the angle. 

Louis played for the in-swinger, but the ball nipped away from the batter and also took the outside-edge as the second slip fielder took a simple catch.

Louis' wicket also brought the downfall of Jason Holder, as England snapped two wickets in quick successions.

At the moment, the Windies are 155/5, leading by 61 runs. They just have 5 wickets in hand, and the onus lies on Kevin Hodge to take his side to a respectable total.
